Egg freezing is the latest perk offered to Apple and Facebook employees, but is it a good idea?

Facebook and Apple are changing the game for career women who, in the past, had to face the difficult and often stigmatized choice between career and family.

Both companies have announced that they will begin covering expenses for women employees who want to freeze their eggs for fertilization and implantation later on.

Support for fertility treatments provides women working in the male-dominated technology industry an incentive: now, they can literally put their biological clocks on hold while they focus on their careers.
